I've tried this approach before on my 37, as many have stated, to prime if it's been sitting awhile. Did some research and supposedly had gotten the correct electric pump (Airtex E8902),but when I would accelerate the car to about 55mph it would start to sputter. Seems like the fuel was being slightly restricted through the electric fuel pump. Pulled the electric fuel pump off and that fixed it. I need to try to find another electric fuel pump that'll work more so now that I'm dealing with a bit of the vapor lock issues when it's hot out.
